Muddy days out there On those killing fields Cambodians facing death And everlasting fear In a country turned to year zero Where are the voices for its survival? Pol Pot, you bastard Four years reign of terror All killed without a bloody reason Fear of a nightmare takes them on They don't sleep, they just keep going on Stop for a minute then you're done They cross the fields and then most of them are gone Still crying Three nights in a row babe You've been running for your life Your heart is bursting and there is no shed of light Faces of death haunting you, but all you see is empty eyes Striving to survive but the killing fields will always rise When someone's taken they're never released Brutally put to death with no grief Staring at their captors eyes, fading into final sleep The human cost of revolutions are horrific indeed Still crying Three nights in a row babe You've been running for your life Your heart is bursting and there is no shed of light Faces of death haunting you, but all you see is empty eyes Striving to survive but the killing fields will always rise Still crying Three nights in a row babe You've been running for your life Your heart is bursting and there is no shed of light Faces of death haunting you, but all you see is empty eyes Striving to survive but the killing fields will always rise
